The Patient Rating score is based on responses given during the CAHPS Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a 10-point scale, with 10 being the best score. These scores are then translated to a 5-point scale in order to display results in a 5-star rating. Comments are also gathered from the same survey and displayed in their entirety with the exception of any language that may be considered slander, libel or contain private health information, which will be removed prior to publishing the comments.

I have been going to Swedish Primary Care in Factoria for a number of years now and was seeing Dr. [...]. I was in a car accident and could not get an appt with Dr. [...] and was seen by Dr. MacFarland. I was so impressed with his bedside manner--very respectful, knowledgeable and not judgmental at all with the health care decisions I have made in the past. Instead of "lecturing" me, he educated me in a calm manner and was very encouraging about taking medications for [...]. He researched medications that won't interfere with breastfeeding which I was still doing at that time. I asked him right away if he could be my PCP. It's one of the best decisions I have made regarding my primary care. I am so happy he agreed to take me as a patient.

My doctor keeps increasing my medication with no affect. It seems a change in medication would be better.

My issues are not resolved. I usually need to go to a specialist before I get the level of care needed no matter what the issue.
